: Ready To Paint New York
Just
got back from doing the photo shoot for the new book which is
due out in January, its another one of the ready to paint
series, but this time New York in watercolours.
Apparently according to the publishers there is a huge demand
for this in New York. Not the usual thing that I do, but fun
nevertheless.
I just thought you would like to see what happens during the
photo shoot days. Sorry about the quality of the photographs but
they were taken on my mobile phone.
All
I know is that its taking 2 and and sometimes 3 days to make 1
half hour programme. So these things are packed full of
information. The other thing of course is that they are not just
in the north east as the last series were. These are going to be
filmed all over the country and the next 2 we are making are
down in Kent.
The series is going to take the whole of the summer to film as
you will be checking out the
diary. This is because the
production company have to take me whenever they can get me
because I'm not in the habit of cancelling other things such as
art societies for filming. Hopefully its going to be a long hot
summer.
The Charles Evans Open Day
is the 1 day of the year when we open our doors to
